At first floor there is a predominantly open plan office with large double glazed windows at each end. There is gas fired central heating via radiators.

Description: Rateable Value: UBR in £ 2014 15: Rates Payable: Relief. Business Unit & Premises £7,000 47.1p £549.50 approx assuming applicant qualifies for Small Business Tax Rate The tenant will be responsible for meeting the Business Rate. The Small Business Rate Relief Scheme 2010 2015 will grant relief to any taxpayer who occupies a single business property where the Rateable Value (RV) is less than £18,000 or where a ratepayer occupies a main property with a RV of less than £18,000 but has other properties with RV’s of less than £2,599 each. In that instance the total RV of all properties must be less than £18,000 and relief will only be applied to the one main property. Additional reliefs may be available, for example an occupier of a single unit with a RV of less than £6,000 may qualify for 100% rate relief up to 31st March 2015. This date appears to have been extended by the Chancellors Autumn Statement to 31st March 2015. Please check with Medway Council to establish what relief is currently available (Telephone: 01634 306000). We believe our assessment above is correct, however all applicants must make their own enquires of the Council to establish the business rates that will be payable by them. LEGAL COSTS. In the event of a sale then each party will meet its own costs. In the event of a letting, the ingoing tenant to meet both parties legal costs. VIEWING.
